Before you ask folks to click on a link that appears to be non-cigar related, you might want to explain what the site is.

This title is a little misleading. Knowing a lot about cigars as a cigar smoker versus knowing a lot about the history of cigars and raising tobacco are very different things.

oh oh k, I didn't mean to upset anyone. She is a Cigar seller in NYC and its a contest on Cigar history.

Sorry again

No one is upset.

You are a newer member with very little involvement here. You have posted a link that is unrelated to the topic of cigars. It is understandable that the membership should be leery.

In retrospect, it might have been helpful to have posted this info in the first post.

I have to confess I'm an old friend with to little time. I'm Friendlyfire from the clubstogie days. I know I should should stop by and say hello more often. But I allways send new smokers that I meet at the cigar lounge here. So I didt completly for get about you guys.

I do remember you from CS.

However, my earlier post was made with the electronic safety of the CA membership in mind.

I'll save folks the trouble of going to the link:

1) Many of you know I’m a BIG fan of corojo wrappers on my cigars, so with that being said, why is corojo grown under cheesecloth? Also, once past the seedling stage what other purpose does the cheesecloth serve in the tobacco’s growth?

2) Before cigars go into their molds prior to applying the wrapper, there is a specific bunching method used which is what inevitably defines the rolling technique for the cigar. In order of least complex to most complex, name the four major techniques.

3) Who is credited with being Europe’s first cigar roller and in what year did he claim to learn to properly roll a cigar from the Indians?

4) What major American political figure argued against a tobacco tax in 1794 because it would affect the poor the most? He called tobacco an “innocent gratification” and labeled it as something that should be enjoyed by those who wished to smoke.

5) What does the word cohiba mean in English and what is the story behind this famed Cuban brand?

6) Sir Winston Churchill has been in cigar news lately since a half-smoked cigar of his was just auctioned off for $7,000.00. He is an ironic historical figure and was known by all to be a cigar lover, but he was very careless with his smokes allowing them to often go out. Before re-lighting he would chew the ends mercilessly, but he did keep a candle around to re-light the sticks, which many times caused them to disintegrate. With that being said, Churchill actually invented a special protective paper for the foot of his cigars so he could still smoke them. What did he call this special paper??
